Ultra Jitter-Free PLL Circuit

For the purpose of synchronizing operation of the
D/A converter with the digital audio interface (DAI),
a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit is used which
generates a master clock to be used as a system
reference. As shown in the diagram. the Ultra Jit-
ter—Free PLL Circuit of the DC-3OO consists of a
preamble detector and a voltage-controlled 05-

4-Pole Analog Filter With Hand-Selected Com-
ponents

To reduce noise in the upper frequency range and
achieve high S/N ratio, a 4-pole Butterworth de-
sign is used for analog filtering. The active iilter
allows optimizing of the cutoff point, to keep phase
shifts in the passband range at an absolute mini-
mum. Strict selection of all filter components as-
sures sonic purity and total musical accuracy.
